abstract = {This Letter presents the observation and measurement of electroweak production of a same-sign W
boson pair in association with two jets using 36.1 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data recorded at a centerof-
mass energy of root s = 13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis is
performed in the detector fiducial phase-space region, defined by the presence of two same-sign leptons,
electron or muon, and at least two jets with a large invariant mass and rapidity difference. A total of 122
candidate events are observed for a background expectation of 69 +/- 7 events, corresponding to an observed
signal significance of 6.5 standard deviations.},
